I’m 50, @JessiP117 , and used to have these and it turned out it was allergies. I do get a lot of allergies but my under-eyes started looking a lot better when I continued using my Zyrtec even when I wasn’t having other allergy symptoms.

@ellliieee I second #The INKEY List Caffeine De-puffing + Dark Circle Eye Cream 0.5 oz/ 15 mL !

Hi @LeaLL ! I’m curious: what’s making you switch from First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair® Oat & Hemp Seed Dry Oil 1 oz/ 30 mL ? Is there something about it your skin no longer likes? The only oil I use on my 50something mostly-dry combo facial skin these days is The Ordinary 100% Organic Cold-Pressed Rose Hip Seed Oil 1 oz/ 30 mL, and only during winter (I live in Chicago; this winter’s been kinda mild compared to our usual subzero Januarys, though the month’s not over yet 😅). But on my hands and nails, I often use Byoma Hydrating Recovery Oil; it’s a nice blend of beneficial oils, squalane, licorice root extract, and a ceramide. It does also contain blue tansy oil; calling that out in case your skin’s sensitive to it. Also consider Good Light Alphabet Oil, a fairly new oil blend that contains turmeric, ascorbic acid, ferulic acid, neem extract, eggplant extract, and retinyl palmitate. That last ingredient may or may not be a dealbreaker, depending on the rest of your skincare routine. I use retinaldehyde nightly, so I don’t need an additional form of vitamin A on my face—which is why I don’t use Alphabet Oil on my face. Your mileage may vary.

@kimofhalifax Your skin depth matters here. If you are fair to light skinned then a pink to peach shade will work well. If you are medium to dark skinned then a more apricot-orange shade would be more appropriate.

I'm sorry to hear that 🩵I would reach out to customer service and see if they can help you @nida44

The SK-II essence does nothing don’t bother. In the morning splash your face, apply a vitamin c serum (I use the Glytone one, tetrahexyldecyl ascorbate is a good, stable vitamin c formulation), then apply a sunscreen (I really like the tatcha one) in the evening use a gentle cleanser (I really like to Round Lab Dokdo one it’s super gentle), then I use the Round Lab toner to adjust pH only because I’m super dry… I alternate days using a retinoid (start low and slow and get your skin acclimated as it can be very irritating: retinyl esters are the weakest, then retinol, then retinal, then differin and the strongest is Trentinoin which is prescription) 1% retinol is probably a good starting point for most. You can also apply a moisturizer before sparingly applying the retinol as a buffer to prevent inflammation. Also avoid the eye area!! Use an eye cream before doing the steps on your face. ☺️

I’m going to be 56 this month. I have dry skin and fine lines and wrinkles. I just started taking my skincare routine very seriously six years ago. One brand I absolutely love is Supergoop! I use the Glowscreen with spf40 for that no makeup look but beautiful finish and their latest Protec(tint) light to medium coverage. For concealer under the eyes where I have darkness as well as my dark spots I use Haus labs in the light peach shade works great. There are many other products ask the sales team for recommendations. They are very helpful and knowledgeable. I hope that helps.
